Attention is given to the requirements of precision determinations in lattice gauge theory. Different methods for extracting the running coupling constant $α_S$ are compared. Some recent results in determining the nature of the interaction between static quarks are also discussed.15 pages, latex (needs espcrc2.sty), 7 figures in self-unpacking file, to be published in Proc.
